“This poor ambassador that did so much for Libya,” Khadijah Muhammad said.

“He helped everybody. How much America helped the Libyans and they killed the embassy and they killed the people who work in the embassy, it’s not good,” said Saleh Saleh, who is originally from Egypt.

While it’s unclear what the motive was, those of the Islamic faith said the attack gives their religion a bad name, once again.

“Islam you don’t say it to kill the people without reason. I feel very sorry for that,” Ferid el Begedei said.

The Council on American Islamic Relations condemned the attack.

“This is not a reflection of the Egyptian people, not a reflection of the Libyan people and definitely not a reflection of Muslims,” CAIR-NY Executive Director Muneer Awad said.
